With over 60 years of teaching expertise, we know that students learn faster and more successfully when they practise their English language inside and outside of the classroom.

We also understand that children learn in different ways and progress at different rates. Our teaching approach responds to the needs of each individual learner and we constantly monitor your child’s progress and provide termly feedback. We can also discuss your child’s development anytime during the course.
